A new Song

[...]

Farewell my useless Scrip, & poor unheed'd flocks,
No more you'll round me trip, nor cloath me with your Locks,
Feed by you purling Stream where Jockey, where Jockey first J knew,
J only think J only think, J only think on him, J cannot, cannot, cannot think on you.
Farewell each Shepherdess the bonny Lads adieu,
May each his Wish possess and to that Wish be true,
Your Oaten Pipes cou'd please but Jockey then was kind,
Your bonny Tunes may Cease the Lad has Chang'd his mind.

A new Song set by M r: Barrett.

[...] How wretched, how wretched is our Fate to Love, when doom'd, when doom'd to Love in Vain, or Sigh & Tears suc╌cess╌less Prove, & in the fair no Passions move, but hatred and Disdain. Ah dear Sibersa, Did you, did you, did you know what Torments J endure you more Compassionate wou'd grow, & som kind tender pitty show, my Wild dispair to Cure, my Wi╌ld dispair to Cure. To you my Heart J've Sacrifis'd, to Sigh, to bleed, to bleed, to burn. For you the World J have despis'd, you as my Goddess Jdoliz'd, and am by you by you undone, & am by you, & am by you, by you, by you undone.
